Isn't this what happened with the 48? This is a ridiculous conclusion to the problem found on the 48. They went on the track in compliance and I assume complied in post-race inspection. These penalties are just ridiculous and gives the question of what Nascars agenda is.batchiefnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2080132098367510832.post-78572946722579669132012-03-15T10:24:05.072-04:002012-03-15T10:24:05.072-04:00I see that everyone there has their phones and/or ...I see that everyone there has their phones and/or computers at the ready.

Playing devil's advocate---in real court, it's the prosecution or plaintiff's job to explain in understandable language why they believe their position is correct, and it's the defendant's job to show the same. This is just a sport--in real life, let's say a negligence lawsuit with a brake failure, you, as a juror, are not expected to be an expert on brakes....they explain to you. I don't know that the board is impartial (I understand Kyle's point about NASCAR picking them), but why must they be experts? I did look up the NFL process, and it's quite similar. The appeals 'board' is Art Schell & Ted Cottrel. Picked by the NFL. But presumably since they have a union, that was agreed upon.

If NASCAR wants to change their perception as not a major league sport then they need to control this kind of nonsense. When others see this kind of stuff they will naturally laugh at it,shake their heads and continue to view NASCAR as on par with wrestling. <br /><br />Sad for those of us who love motorsports in all of it's forms.
